I think Alaska is my favorite from these guys... it's inconsistent as fuck but... I don't really care :P It's fun and I don't get the vibe that they are just showing off as much as I do listening to The Great Misdirect

@Arcade listen to Alaska first, it seems to be the most popular/"definitive" (I use that word loosely) btbam sound. If you dig it try this album... from what I gather they've tried to tighten things up on here.

@Arcade if you want a pretty solid prog-metal record definitely go for it. The only thing is is that the album is fairly long and not a whole lot of the tracks are good to listen to outside of the album experience. I think there are only three or four that I jam regularly.

I really like a lot of 90's music. Pop punk and 90's alternative is like a bizarre guilty pleasure for me. In a world of Imagine Dragons and Lana Del Rey, I really don't mind when Blink 182 comes on the radio for some obscure reason lol

After about 15 listens I've come to the conclusion this is my least favorite album by them. The only songs I really enjoy on here are astral body, lay your ghosts and telos. I guess i'm not feeling it or the band grew off me a bit some of the "prog" stuff sounds ridiculously gimmicky on this album.
